The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A second C2/c polymorph of butobarbitone (5-butyl-5-ethyl-barbituric acid), C10H16N2O3, and a third polymorph overall, has been obtained after prolonged standing of an aqueous solution from which the first polymorph had been crystallized. It has the same space group as the first polymorph at room temperature, but very different cell parameters from both its room-temperature and low-temperature forms (the second polymorph), which are related by a displacive phase transition [Nichol & Clegg (2005). Acta Cryst. C61, o297-o299] with the low-temperature form having space group P21/n. The new polymorph shows no phase transition over the temperature range 150-270 K and has a higher density than the first and second polymorphs. N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into tapes, which inter-weave in the crystal structure. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
